Check if object is array?

I'm trying to write a function that either accepts a list of strings, or a single string. If it's a string, then I want to convert it to an array with just the one item. Then I can loop over it without fear of an error.

So how do I check if the variable is an array?

I've rounded up the various solutions below and created a jsperf test.

In modern browsers you can do

Array.isArray(obj)

(Supported by Chrome 5, Firefox 4.0, IE 9, Opera 10.5 and Safari 5)

For backward compatibility you can add the following

# only implement if no native implementation is available
if (typeof Array.isArray === 'undefined') {
  Array.isArray = function(obj) {
    return Object.prototype.toString.call(obj) === '[object Array]';
  }
};

If you use jQuery you can use jQuery.isArray(obj) or $.isArray(obj) . If you use underscore you can use _.isArray(obj)

If you don't need to detect arrays created in different frames you can also just use instanceof

obj instanceof Array

The method given in the ECMAScript standard to find the class of Object is to use the toString method from Object.prototype .

if( Object.prototype.toString.call( someVar ) === '[object Array]' ) {
    alert( 'Array!' );
}

Or you could use typeof to test if it is a String:

if( typeof someVar === 'string' ) {
    someVar = [ someVar ];
}

Or if you're not concerned about performance, you could just do a concat to a new empty Array.

someVar = [].concat( someVar );

There's also the constructor which you can query directly:

if (somevar.constructor.name == "Array") {
    // do something
}

Check out a thorough treatment from @TJ Crowder's blog, as posted in his comment below.

From @Bharath convert string to array using Es6 for the question asked:

const convertStringToArray = (object) => {
   return (typeof object === 'string') ? Array(object) : object 
}

suppose:

let m = 'bla'
let n = ['bla','Meow']
let y = convertStringToArray(m)
let z = convertStringToArray(n)
console.log('check y: '+JSON.stringify(y)) . // check y: ['bla']
console.log('check y: '+JSON.stringify(z)) . // check y: ['bla','Meow']

I would first check if your implementation supports isArray :

if (Array.isArray)
    return Array.isArray(v);

You could also try using the instanceof operator

v instanceof Array
